      Sales Engineer Interview

      Feb 24, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at Cloudera in Nov 2014

      Interview

      The interview process was very unprofessional. First, there was a recruiter, then he connected me to another recruiter, then there was a one-on-one. The one on one was purely skills oriented for a Sales Engineer position. The interviewer specifically told me that they "are not looking for training people." They are "looking for hiring people who can hit the ground running." Also, they would love to just hire customers. Also, they want people who are sales engineers already, who have done systems administration, in windows and unix, who were software developers in both java and .net, and people who know big data, and noSQL databases. basically every technology possible, while having excellent sales skills. they are super super picky, which led me to believe they are not really looking for people. An observation noted by many others in the industry anyway. They first got in touch with me in August, and never got back to me. then a month ago, another recruiter contacted me about the same position.... Anyway, I wont be wasting my time with super picky people who waste others' time...

      Difficult interview

      I applied in-person. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cloudera (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Meticulously thorough recruitment process covering complete skills spectrum as well as social and personality aspects. A technical in-depth interview and presentation were part of the process.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudera (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      I had received a call from the recruiter to go over my back ground. We had discussed my experience and technical aptitude. The recruiter was comfortable with my skill level and wanted pass me onto the hiring manager. Secon interview was with the hiring manager and we spoke for at least an hour going over my background, talking about solutions and use cases for big data. I had a great conversation. The hiring manager and I both felt comfortable. The next step was to meet the rest of the team. In order to meet with the team I had to travel to San Francisco. The Recruiting Coordinator did a great job in setting up my travel arrangements (booking my flight, setting the schedule, and constantly in communication). Recruiting Coordinator pays attention to the little things (i.e. goodie bag) which goes a long way. I met with the Vice President and discussed the opportunity and went through my background and skill set. I enjoyed our conversation and felt comfortable to ask any questions. I also met with three colleagues to have a technical conversation around the product. The conversations were not so much question and answer but more having a conversation around use cases in a technical manner. I left the interview feeling confident and comfortable working for Cloudera. No one was trying to ask difficult questions we were having a great conversation and that s what I enjoyed about the process.
